Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wave-guide-notch antenna and more particularly a dually polarised wave-guide-notch antenna.
- ESA electrically steerable antennas
- Balanced antenna elements such as the radiating portion of a notch element possesses excellent bandwidth properties, but are cumbersome to realise, e.g. to manufacture.
- One reason for this is that at least one transmission line per element needs to cross the ground plane, implying a feed through and possibly a contact.
- a convenient way of feeding antenna elements above a ground plane is excitation by means of slots in the ground plane. This removes the need for a feed through or a contact
- wave-guide elements are to be tightly packaged and slot-fed with satisfactory results, see Fig. 1, they usually require electrically dense dielectrics in the wave-guide. However, such dielectrics tend to be far too heavy to be considered for use in large array antennas.
- protruding wave-guide ridges with the ridge height gradually reduced towards the free- space end (in order to get good matching towards free- space) can be used.
- high performance notch elements can be slot-fed because of seemingly disparate transverse field distributions.
- Efficient antenna element design requires that the element volume be split at well-defined interfaces into several smaller volumes that can be optimised at a significantly lesser effort.
- a split interface in a protruding ridge/ notch region of the antenna element implies boundary conditions not implemented in EM analysis software of today.
- a split interface in a wave-guide can be simulated with high accuracy.
- Standard ridged wave-guide feeds do not easily fit into standard lowcost industrial manufacturing methods, while probe or stripline fed slots do, as doses a probe fed ridge.
- a US Patent No. 6,577,207 from June 10, 2003 discloses a dual-band electromagnetic coupler, which uses a ridged square wave-guide section to couple a square port of a mode converter to a common square port.
- the ridged square wave-guide section includes ridges and phase shifters which delay components of the high-band modes to produce a TE 11 O and a TEo, i mode at the common port in both bands.
- phased array antennas includes two planar micro-strip notch elements that interlock and are perpendicular to each other having their phase centres coincident providing advantageous operational characteristics for forming wide bandwidth and wide scan angle.
- Still another European patent EP0831550 discloses an antenna element consisting of a micro-strip section mounted at right angles to a support leaving a gap between the micro-strip section and the edge of the support. A notch starts from the free micro-strip edge. This has a wide section narrowing to a second narrower section. The notch dimensions provide a fixed phase centre in a narrow band of around 10% of desired centre frequency.
- a dual polarised wave-guide notch antenna array comprises of a feed section, consisting of either strip-line transmission lines or longitudinally oriented probes, a feed /wave -guide interface that enables controlled energy transfer between the feed section and the wave-guide section, a wave-guide section with ridges, transferring energy between the interface and a tapered notch-section, in which the electromagnetic field is gradually adjusted towards free-space conditions.
- the device is set forth by the independent claim 1 and further embodiments are set forth by the dependent claims 2 to 6.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the interior boundary surface of a ridged wave-guide antenna element from which bottom the ridged wave-guide may be fed by an aperture, i.e. the feed wave-guide interface;
- FIG. 2 illustrates main sections in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 3a illustrates a strip-line section containing a slot
- FIG. 3b illustrates a probe section with an underlying strip-line section
- FIG. 4 illustrates a part of a feed section using a probe for feeding a shown tapered ridge section
- FIG. 5 illustrates in a three-dimensional view four tapered ridges with one pair being fed by probes for obtaining a first polarisation
- FIG. 6 illustrates a crossed-slot layer
- FIG. 7 illustrates a tapered section fed by a crossed slot
- FIG. 8 illustrates characteristic footprints of slots (slanted crosses) and ridge/ walls (standing crosses).
- FIG. 9 shows footprints of slots (white) wall /ridges (dark grey) on the wave-guide bottom (light grey).
- An embodiment of the invention consists of a feed section 1 constituting a strip-line section or a probe section, where two (or more) input transmission lines 2 and/or probes 6 are arranged so that e.g. one linear and one circular polarisation is transmitted (or received) depending on how the input transmission lines 2 are excited.
- the feed section 1 transfers the strip-line wave or the probe wave to a wave-guide mode (and vice versa), of a ridged wave-guide section 3, a feed/wave-guide interface, e.g. in the form of crossed slots.
- the wave-guide mode finally enters the tapered notch section 7, which due to its TEM character gradually adjusts the field towards free- space conditions (Zo « 377 ohms) outside the antenna. (Also see Figure 2, Figure 3a and Figure 3b).
- a feed section 1 may consist of a strip-line section with at least one hybrid feeding the crossed-slot feed/wave-guide interface aperture.
- the feed section is realised using longitudinal probes 6 feeding a general feed/wave-guide interface aperture, including crossed-slot apertures.
- Still an underlying strip-line section may feed the longitudinal probes.
- the ridged hollow wave-guide section 3 may be of arbitrary length and it may also conceptually be omitted and replaced only by a wave-guide like the ridged wave-guide section 7a.
- the wave-guide section 3 is generally realised with adjoining wave-guide walls, thus creating a self-supporting wave-guide or can be made with isolated wall segments that need to be assembled individually, or using no wave-guide walls at all, but only presenting the tapered ridges 13.
- the feed section 1 with or without a probe section is positioned underneath the wave-guide section 3.
- the probe section can have an underlying strip line section that may constitute one or more hybrids and the output of the feed section is generally two signals, either in phase (linear polarisation) or in quadrature (circular polarisation). This functionality may also be included in a T/ R module 9.
- the T/ R module 9 and the feed section 1 or the probe section may be displaced relative to the slot layer and wave-guide section 3.
- Figures 3a illustrates schematically seen from the side a feed section constituting a strip-line section feeding a slot 8 and Figure 3 b illustrates seen from the side another feed section comprising a strip-line section and two probes 6 feeding bottom ends of respective notch section pair 13a by a capacitive or inductive coupling or a combination thereof.
- Reference number IO indicates an optional protrusion in the feed section.
- Figure 4 illustrates in more detail a feeding of a notch section 13 by a probe 6 from an underlying strip-line section (not shown in Fig 4).
- Figure 5 illustrates in a three-dimensional view the wave-guide section 3 with the two pairs of tapered ridges 13 for either linear or circular polarisation.
- the probes typically are electro-magnetically coupled to the bottom surfaces 13a of the tapered ridges.
- FIG 6 the feed/ wave-guide interface in the shape of a crossed slot 8 is depicted.
- the footprints of the ridges 13 are shown. It is important that neither the slots, nor the ridge cross sections need to be rectangular. For matching reasons the slot width may vary along the length of the slot 8, and the ridge cross section may have a form that more closely follows the edges of the slots.
- the footprints of the ridges and tapered wave-guide walls are depicted in Figure 8.
- the footprints of the walls can be chosen to be equal in shape to the footprints of the ridges 13, creating symmetric crosses when creating an antenna array.
- Figure 9 illustrates a configuration with optional crossed slots 8' and tapered ridges 13' having optional shapes with varying widths.
- the present invention designates convenient feeding techniques (strip-line fed slots, probe-fed slots or, more generally a probe-fed aperture in the feed/wave-guide interface) to a doubly polarised and broadband radiating aperture consisting of an optional wave-guide section and a tapered notch section.
- a wave-guide section facilitates analysis as well as it offers the possibility of a self-supporting radiating element grid.
- Such a grid offers small, manufacturing-originated tolerances, rather than high, assembly-originated tolerances.
- no probes through the ground plane (wave-guide bottom) are needed, facilitating a simple mount technique of an electrically high performance scanned antenna array (ESA).
- ESA electrically high performance scanned antenna array
